  • Slide 30
  • 10 yrs 2.5mm/yr X 10 = 25mm = (convert mm to m).025m 100 yrs =.25 m 200 yrs =.5 m In recent years many scientific studies have shown the relationship between the global mean atmospheric temperature at Earths surface and rising sea levels. The increases in the global mean atmospheric temperature during the past 200 yrs have been accompanied by a gradual increase in sea level. The average rate of increase in sea level over the past 200 yrs is 2.5mm/yr. a. Calculate the expected increase in sea level, in meters, for the following lengths of time: 10 yrs, 100 yrs, 200 years.
